Trusted context support has been extended

The IBM_DB Ruby driver, IBM® PHP extensions and the IBM Data Server Provider for .NET now support trusted contexts using connection string keywords.

Trusted contexts provide a way of building much faster and more secure three-tier applications. Using trusted contexts improves performance because you do not have to get a new connection when the current user ID of the connection is switched. Also, the user's identity is always preserved for auditing and security purposes.
